The MTW layout is controlled and powered by RailCommand

These are the four auxiliary power stations we use on the MTW |
|

Another view of them |
|
|
This is the command center. All the locomotive data is stored here. |
|
|
This is the primary power station mounted above the command station |
|
|
We used these clips to make all the feeder wire connections around the layout. This was an incredible time saver as we have more than a thousand connections! |
|
|
These are the throttles for the system. |
|
|
There is coax cable ran through the layout. This is for connecting the throttle stations. |

|
Getting ready to install the plugs. |
|
|
All Done! We did come back later and paint these plates DaGlo Orange. Wanted to make sure we could see them! |

Starting the instalation of the Railcommand chip in a Proto 2K GP60 |

I am using a 'Skinny" receiver |
|
|
I have the channel etched into it. |
|
|
I am using the
existing DCC plug for the connections. I determined later that it was better if just removed this plug and started from a bare locomotive. |
|
|
More connections! |

Mounting the chip |

All Done! |
